In 1961, three friends, all from the world of fine arts and decor, decided to open the now iconic Diptyque store in Paris to display their printed fabrics and wallpaper. Over time, the trio transformed the space into a kind of stylish bazaar filled with surprising articles from their travels. In 1963 they introduced a line of scented candles to capture the essences of their exotic journeys and childhood memories. Their unique and luxurious approach to the olfactory experience has made Diptyque a loved and lauded French perfume house.
